Working on a big project right now, and hope to be able to share some of those images soon. In the meanwhile, here are three random color frames I liked from my rolls: two of my wife and one of a classmate.
3. A classmate asked me to re-do her graduation photo, because she was dissatisfied with the one from the school photographer. This differs from my usual efforts in the unusual color spectrum represented as she expressed a strong preference for color. Oh well. Graduation is right around the corner! http://www.bainesphoto.com/webpost/sc-001.jpg

1. She’s so lovely, as always. I really like the triangle of her scarf, face, head, hair and back – juxtaposed with the slight horizontal patterning of her shirt. Classic stuff but really enhanced by the colors involved. The colors… just crazy good. The visual interaction of her scarf, hair and shirt against the “scarf” background. I really love this image of her.
2. Gorgeous shot and best framing of Amanda in this composition, no doubt, but for me with so much going on visually she becomes an ancillary element and I find myself wanting her to be more prominent. Nonetheless, an absolutely picturesque image.
3. Just so well done, Evan. On my monitor and in Chrome, her skin tone may edge a bit toward the yellow but nothing distracting and only you know what it actually looks like. I do find myself wondering about her eyes – it’s largely her makeup but they’re very dark – so heavily mascara’d on the outer corners. It is what it is, and is her choice, I suppose...
Yeah nothing really changed on this one. I got the neopan roll back a day later than the color due to the lab's processing schedule. I tidied up a flyaway on the BW and obv cropped from its original square format, but didn't mess with the eyes. I do see what you mean though.
Nice Evan. I also thought there was a slight skin tone issue in the color version. I like her expression in the color version better. It seems more genuine and opened up.
Graduation is right around the corner!
